EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF THE Z-TRANSFER FUNCTION COEFFICIENTS FOR HOUSES.

Author(s) : BARAKAT S. A.

Summary

SPECIALLY DESIGNED EXPERIMENTS WERE PERFORMED AT AN OUTDOOR TEST FACILITY TO DETERMINE THE COOLING-LOAD Z-TRANSFER FUNCTION COEFFICIENTS DUE TO SOLAR GAIN INPUT, AS WELL AS THE ROOM-AIR TRANSFER FUNCTION COEFFICIENTS. 3 SETS OF COEFFICIENTS WERE OBTAINED FOR DIFFERENT MASS LEVELS IN WOOD-FRAME HOUSES. THESE LEVELS ARE PARTICULARLY USEFUL FOR ENERGY CALCULATIONS FOR HOUSES. THE MASS LEVELS EXAMINED ARE BASED ON 46, 130, AND 535 KG/M2 OF FLOOR AREA.
